Meanwhile, the next salvo sails over...

It was only a matter of time, but I must confess to surprise how quickly the first past the post-IPCC counter theory pops out: Cosmic rays blamed for global warming

What's a boy to think? Other than noting we are looking at a ratio of around 100 to 1 on boffins pro/con, I leave this latest to you.

Times - ‘Blame cosmic rays not CO2 for warming up the planet’

    Great - yet another scientifically based contra argument to inflame the debate! Given the suggested link between cosmic rays and the magnetic state of the sun, I guess we'll see the older argument (which I never quite understood) about changes in the sun's magnetic field being the direct cause of global warming returning to the fold too.

    Oh well, I guess that given the incredibly complex number of factors, both real and potential, that are or may be involved in GW, throwing in a few more can't make too much of a difference.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
